Once your supervisor has created a cheque template using the steps here, you can start posting and printing cheques.

Generating a Printable Cheque

Any posting from the client or office bank will have a tick box – Cheque Required? This box must be ticked during the financial posting in order to generate a printable cheque in Osprey.

Once you have ticked this box, you will be presented with 3 further boxes:

• Payee: – Enter the Payee name as you want it to appear on the printed cheque.
• Cheque Option: – This drop down gives you 3 options
  • Generate next cheque number – The system will automatically enter the next cheque number based on the value held against the relevant bank.
  • Enter next cheque number – This option allows you to type in the cheque number.
  • Add to existing cheque – This allows you to add the amount for this cheque to another you have already posted for the same payee – for example, if you have a client with several matters that you want to pay client monies back to. See guide here for assistance with this option.
• Posting Detail: – This drop down also gives you 3 options:
  • Leave as entered – The posting detail will be retained as originally entered.
  • Add payee to detail – The payee name will be added to the detail.
  • Replace detail with payee – The posting detail you entered will be removed and replaced with the payee detail.

Clicking Post will then post your entry and also add a printable cheque into the list within the Banks and Journals area.
